I find the Darwin approach to dynamic linking too restrictive. Sometimes there needs to be a new release which is not backwards compatible or you end up with Windows weirdness. It is also too restrictive on volunteer developers giving their time to open source.
At the same time, containerization where we throw every library - and the kitchen sink - at an executable to get it to run does not seem like progress to me. It’s like the meme where the dude is standing on a huge horizontal pile of ladders to look over a small wall.
At the moment you can choose to use a distro which follows a particular approach to this problem; one which enthuses its developers, giving some guarantee of long term support. This free market of distros that we have at the moment is ideal in my opinion.
Rule #1 never trust your users
Yes, I find that dude to be very disagreeable. He’s like everything that haters claim Linus Torvalds is - but manifested IRL.
Can’t wait to see if this movie pops off (again)
3·2 days agoAmazing how many subjects Chomsky wrote about. I think his review of BF Skinner’s Behaviourism might be his best work because it is so devastatingly well argued.
Try to live well and thrive in spite of the turmoil. Hold on to the belief that this crazy period in history will end and try to avoid getting dragged into arguments with people who have drunk the kool aid. There’s no need to engage with the bullshit if you can avoid it.
Regardless of whether the news is censored, you might just find that your husband has a different political perspective to you. Some people find that a dealbreaker but personally I enjoy having different opinions to my partner. It means that our beliefs get challenged (in a good natured way) and that one or both of us get the opportunity to change our minds from an initial knee-jerk take on any given issue.
XFCE would be my choice too
2·3 days agoI was surprised by just how far they pushed the ending of The Meg 2. That might be only a film I like though!
Guilermo del Toro speaks about his auteur philosophy being, “one for them, then one for me”, meaning he alternates between potential commercial successes and passion projects.
Ok going to try Thunderbird tomorrow and if it works then I’ll see if I can reverse engineer whatever it does into gnus
I was not overly excited by the trailer for “… Unicorn” but will watch it to give it a chance. The Monkey was borderline too silly for me but I did enjoy that one.
Has anyone got gmail or outlook working via SMTP in the past couple years? I was using the former with emacs gnus and then it started demanding additional auth that I couldn’t provide via a simple file, then in the past 6 months the latter stopped letting me log in.
My
~/.gnusfile was like this -setq user-mail-address "[email protected]" user-full-name "My Name") (setq gnus-select-method '(nnimap "outlook" (nnimap-address "imap-mail.outlook.com") (nnimap-server-port 993) (nnimap-stream ssl))) (setq smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp-mail.outlook.com" smtpmail-smtp-service 587 gnus-ignored-newsgroups "^to\\.\\|^[0-9. ]+\\( \\|$\\)\\|^[\"]\"[#'()]")~/.authinfo(encrypted with gpg) -machine imap-mail.outlook.com login my.name@hotmail.co.uk password **** port 993 machine smtp-mail.outlook.com login my.name@hotmail.co.uk password **** port 587I think I might need to start hosting my own email server because every authentication option on these services requires some extra step or fingerprinting that gnus can’t provide. Maybe I should give up and try Thunderbird to see if that would work.
The name’s Lyndon, Barry Lyndon
delightfully devious
edit: hey I’ll give you 20k robux to commit a heinous crime on my behalf (on fortnite)
The phrase “in minecraft” must trigger alarm bells in some intelligence agency at this point
Does anyone remember when the writer googled a recipe for their historical novel and copy pasted the first result - which turned out to be fictional from Zelda BOTW
I was dragged to see this and was extremely confused because the last marvel film I saw was Revenge of Ultron
There is a separate kernel which is being written entirely in rust from scratch that might interest you. I’m not sure if this is the main one https://github.com/asterinas/asterinas but it is the first one that came up when I searched.
By the tone of your post you might just want to watch the world burn in which case I’d raise an issue in that repo saying “Rewrite in C++ for compatibility with wider variety of CPU archs” ;)
